Lets start out by saying I am 6ft tall and 415 pounds. I have a lot of muscle under this lard and haver been struggling the past year or so to get it off. My diet has sucked. But since my Dad had a heart attack a week or 2 ago. I went from 425 to where I am now. This forum seems like the kinda place for me to do my journal. I lift a 3 on 1 off split with Legs,chest,back,off, shoulders, biceps, triceps, off. I will be doing 45 minutes of cardio at nite on workout days. I lost it all once, I have decided to take off the skirt and man up and do this. My son is counting on me.

I will start my new 8 week program tomorrow. I have dreams of becoming a personal trainer. I have studied so much into it, that strength training has become my passion. I work with a few guys know who come to lift at my house, I have a nice gym setup. I will either get ACE certified or ISSA certified, I have been told that ACE is better excepted I dunno. I will take my test most likely in August or september. My diet will be a 2500 CAD, with 270/170-190/75-90 Protein/carb/fat. It has worked well in the past. I am excited to get this started. I want to drop 30 pounds or more in teh next 8 weeks, but my target is 25 pounds.

I woke up with a serious sinus infection this morning. I am on Antibiotics but I think all it did was piss it off. I will start lifting either on Sunday if better, or Monday irregardless.

The Power Matrix is a weight chart I tore out of a Musclemag years ago, it goes from 100 pounds to I think 800 pounds, I do the 420 pound workout, which is basicly my max on deads at the moment. What I posted would be my normal Deadlift workout, I will start it next week.

Got a love/hate relationship with front squats. I LOVE to execute them looooow and fire up. Great feeling in the legs. But i HATE how uncomfortable they are, especially when sweating a lot.
You got some good power, man. I know lots of ppl tell you that already, but hey... no denying it. Like the way you approach your rep scheme. Go to 10 reps, then increase weight. Get to 10 reps again, increase. Nice.

I plan on going on a weightlifting marathon till I feel I have punished myself for letting myself fall off the wagon so hard. No more mental mess-ups. I also went jogging for a bit last nite, it was nice.

sounds like you have everything in the right order. dont punish yourself. the mental anguish you go through is enough. positive reinforcement. look at what you are doing right and focus on that. too easy to focus on the negatives. :)

The diet is going good, I have been experimenting with a 3000 CAD diet here and there, I feel like I am eating a lot of food, but I want to lose the fat not the muscle. I kinda go back and forth from 2500-3000, I have been on vacation, this past week, adn I will be on vacation this week too, I have taken a break from cardio walking during this period, My weight is still at 415, but I am sure my BF has gone down. I am ready to turn up the heat in teh next week and go back to my 60 minute walks again.

I am limited to what I can do for legs and it sucks. I need to move closer to a gym with a leg press. I also did my front squats REALLY SLOW, so the bar wouldnt slip down, and I barely got 3 sets of 6. But I really feel the quality of my Leg Day is pretty weak.

Maybe incorporate some walking barbell lunges after your (front)squats? That will certainly put a burn in the wheels.

You are never limited ;) - so many options to teach the legs a lesson you just need to get creative. If you feel that they are the only exercises you can do then do them 110% because thats what you owe yourself.

I will give that a try.

Another exercise that is easily done with limited equipment is box step ups. Make a strong, stable box about 40-50cm high. Put the BB in the neck, stand in front of the box and step up. Step down. Step up using other leg. Step down. This exercise looks easy, but if you do it at a nice speed and try to really explode upwards after stepping on the box it WILL take a toll. Also good exercise for stability. You can even extend the calf after stepping up, if you want, making it a quad/calf exercise. But i read about the toe...
Good luck with the toe, brother! Hope it does not bother you too much.

Another exercise that is easily done with limited equipment is box step ups. Make a strong, stable box about 40-50cm high. Put the BB in the neck, stand in front of the box and step up. Step down.

Another quick check up, I am down to 423.2, which is 9.8 pounds lost for the month. My goal for this week is to be under 419 by the 28th. The wieghts are good and so is the diet. The only changes to my weightlifting are on Leg Day, I am doing Back squats now again. I am doing them light and slowly increasing weight to keep my form in check. I have increased weights in a lot of my lifts, and I quit the Deads for now and incorporated Cable Rows for now, I was having back spasms the next day or 2 after them. Other than that, thigns are good. I will try to find some tinme to post my workouts this week for some constructive criticism.

What a f*ckin month. The first of the month my wife was in the hospital, a week later my son has his tonsils and adenoids taken out, a week or so later I have to go to the ER for severe vomiting and a real bad sinus infection and bronchitus, which my son now has. WE are both on antibiotics now. I havent lost any weight this month and Havent gained any weight this month. Usually a month like this would be disastrous, but again, I am making life changes for success. But f*ck, what a horrible month. I am finding it increasingly hard to remain optimistic. But I gottta do what I gotta do.

I know what you mean when you say that optimism seems to evaporate then. But it is THESE rough patches that will test your resolve and show you what kind of Animal you are.

X2, Fred! I have had a very bad month myself too (wont go into details, but i have felt hopeless and down for 10 days straight). I know what you mean when you say that optimism seems to evaporate then. But it is THESE rough patches that will test your resolve and show you what kind of Animal you are.
Keep at it. Even if progress is slow or non-existent. It is all worth it in the long run.

I ended up with a really bad sunburn(infected too) right after that last post. So I decided to take a much needed week of off lifting. I am getting ready to start a new period, hopefully a good 12 to 16 week period. I am also thinking about lightening up the weights a bit. My joints take a beating. If anybody has any cheap, good ideas on how to keep the joints good let me know.

I dunno what Animal Flex costs where you live, but its the BEST joint support supp i have ever tried. I find it as essential as Pak itself.

It really is, but it has never gotten that wide, genetically it wont. But it is thick as hell. When I flex my back, it shoots back and out a good 2-3 inches. I am working on getting my dumbell rows back to 150, you know whats funny tho, I could never do pullups with an overhand grip...lol I could do more on my rows but my weight bench cant hold any more, no room!!

I am gonna repeat my AM workout tonite. I lovee lifting weights. The only cardio I can muster is walking, and for some reason, it hurts my shoulders and back bad these days. So I went to lifting 2x a day. I get the intensity and energy from rage I hold deep inside. It is how I stay off medication......................just kidding. But I do love to lift.

I can kinda turn my head to the right a little. I am gonna have to see what I can and cant do this week. I was really wanting to bust ass and now I am pissed. My last week before I take a week off and now I am gonna have to limp thru. I already know what I am not gonna be able to do. I am wondering what I can do. I guess there is only one way to find out.

Not a bad increase. I am happy where I am at strength wise here. I gotta get stronger in my legs again.

On a side not. I am on DAY 4 of dieting and made it thru. Do you know when the last time I made it 4 days on my diet.............................................. .........me neither. And I dont have any cravings. Only rational thoughts on how I cant eat xtra to take away from my son. Food is fuel. And it is getting done this time. I want under 400 by November 26th, my Birthday. 30th to be exact.

Started out good, then I went kapoof at the end. There are a couple of factors as in why the reps went way down at the end, It has only been a day since I worked out my triceps, or my diet being so good finally, I dropped a bit of strength. I will find out next time.

Looking good, big man!
My guess its the triceps workout the day before that got to ya. Or maybe just one of those days, they happen too.

Tomorrow is an odd off day, I will do a little bit of everything tomorrow. I cant wait!! After my triceps day today, I did a set of Hammer Strength preses with 4 plates on each side for 10 reps. IT was nice!!! I do my forearm roller daily and I have a couple of pics of my forearms to post to show why I think it is beneficial . Keep in mind I have 8 inch wrists too.
